Pros

The best position I ever had. Sadly, I left for more money and found out, "the grass isn't always greener" on the other side. In my case, the salary I switched for wasn't worth it. I am trying to get back in now but having a difficult time. If you land a job with The State of Fl, count yourself lucky and don't let it go. The benefits are beyond compare to any place I've ever worked and your share out of pocket is so low, you don't really notice it at all.

Cons

The salary is pathetic. They are not competitive with your free enterprise salaries.

Pros

Great benefits in Florida Blue Options PPO insurance plan. Love the 457(b) post tax investment option. Currently still in the pension plan. I get 176 hours vacation time plus 104 hours sick leave. Great place to work.

Cons

Very low salaries compared to the rest of my field. Sometimes 40% to 50% below market rate salaries in the private industry.
